This incident happened in May & it never got national attention. Flint, Michigan firefighters may have left two Black children in a 2nd floor apartment while it burned. The firehouse was literally a three minute walk. There names were Zyaire Mitchell & Lamar Mitchell. Here's an excerpt:
“The last message that he sent me was, ‘You’re the best mom ever,’” their mother, Crystal Cooper, recalled in an interview, speaking about Lamar. “He was just carin’ and lovin’, and if I was having a bad day, he would make me smile. He was always smiling.”
Weeks later, the city’s fire chief determined that two white firefighters initially tasked with canvassing the room in which the children were fatally injured lied about properly searching for victims.
